Product Description
Synopsis

It draws on the literature of child development and psychiatry, the daily practice of residential and foster care; and the resources and experience of the Judaeo-Christian faith.It provides clear and accessible reading for all those working with children in whatever capacity.The concepts will resonate with lay people as well as psychiatric and religious traditions.This book is suitable for adults involved in the nurture and care of children in whatever capacity; specialist children's advisers and educationalists; and children's work leaders, carers, parents, clergy, pastoral workers and Christian social workers.This book draws on the literature of child development and psychiatry; the daily practice of residential and foster care; and the resources and experience of the Judaeo-Christian faith to examine the nurture and care needed for a child to develop in to mature adulthood.Five elements essential to child development are identified as: Security (a secure base); Boundaries (moral, consistent); Significance (identity and recognition); Community (peers, associations) and Creativity (opportunities for play and making).Where they are present, in whatever nature of form, love is able to grow. The encouraging feature of the book is the ground for optimism that such elements can be found in the most unlikely places and situations.
